Phone arrived yesterday. Coming from an original galaxy note, it actually feels really light and much easier to hold, even with the 5.5" screen. I was expecting something huge from the reviews. Really like the back cover material, nice and grippy. Battery life is amazing, I don't know how it's doing it but it seems to be lasting for ages. Glad I took the gamble anyway, comparing it to some of the other flagships it's difficult to see what else you are getting over the one except a huge pricetag.
